Yep. Look at the preferences code in OmniAppKit, which you can find here:
http://www.omnigroup.com/community/developer/sourcecode
It provides the look and feel of the system preferences panel with one
minor exception: we don't animate the sliding around of icons in the
favorites bar at the top. This is the code which is used in OmniWeb, and
you are free to use it in your own applications (see the source license
link on that page, but it's really non-restrictive).
If you have any questions with it or need help getting it to work, feel
free to ask.
